is part of this due to all the current unofficial policy of "deliberate ambiguity"? If the DPP does officially make a move to state that ROC is Taiwan and a sovereign entity, would that be one condition that might prompt a PLA invasion?

Yes. PRC has a couple of diplomatic red lines, which have been consistent since 1949, and Taiwanese independence is one of them.

It seems that otherwise, unless the US militarily supports Taiwan, the PRC doesn't care whether Taiwan is de facto independent as long as they don't declare so.

Chen Shuibian has proclaimed independence like 10 times in a row in his term. Nothing much happened.
